GoKawiilWhat happens to my Apple Music student discount if I don't re-verify my student status?
Your student subscription will automatically renew as an Apple Music individual subscription if you're still a student and do not verify your student status during the verification period. If you want to obtain the discounted rate, you'll need to resubscribe as a student and go through the verification process.
How does Apple verify my student status?
For Apple Music student subscriptions, the tech giant is partnering with UniDays, which houses and shares student discounts for brands and stores across its site and provides online student verification services.

The current Apple Music student offer highlighted on the UniDays website is one month of Apple Music for free, followed by half-price monthly. Plus, you'll get access to Apple TV+.
Is it safe to use student verification platforms like UniDays?
I wouldn't have written this article if there was anything remotely suspicious about this student discount from Apple, which requires verification from UniDays. I used UniDays and other student-discount platforms like Student Beans for all four years of college and completed the student verification process myself. It is easy to do, and I have had no issues. Although I have now graduated, I continue to keep up with the best student offers to share with friends, family, and ZDNET readers.
Of course, there's always a potential risk when you place any information online, so I recommend being cautious. However, Apple is not out to compromise customer trust by partnering with nefarious sites.
